epicureanism

I'm a fan. thoughts?

well, im glad that 22 people have viewed it but I sure would appreciate feedback. Perhaps we could discuss the other hellenistic philosophies as well. I just learned about them in school which is why I made this thread in the first place.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”--Epicurus

Always liked this. But that's the most I ever gave a rat's about towards Epicureanism.
